LSXA4L4-2C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LSXA4L4-2C is a snap action DPDT (double pole double throw) switch manufactured by Honeywell Sensing and Productivity Solutions. This chassis-mounted switch is rated for 10A AC at 120V and 800mA DC at 115V, featuring a side rotary actuator with adjustable nylon roller and screw terminal connections. The part is currently classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LSXA4L4-2C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Circuit configuration (DPDT), switch function (On-Mom), current ratings (10A AC / 800mA DC), and voltage ratings (120V AC / 115V DC) must be identical.

Mechanical Specifications: Actuator type (side rotary with adjustable nylon roller), mounting configuration (chassis mount), and termination method (screw terminal) must match exactly.

Operational Characteristics: Operating force (46gfm), pretravel (15°), differential travel (7°), and overtravel (60°) define the switch response profile and must remain constant.

Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range (-12°C to 121°C) and RoHS compliance status must be maintained.

The LSXA4L-2C qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all specified parameters while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LSXA4L-2C is the direct equivalent for the obsolete LSXA4L4-2C. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical configurations, and operational characteristics across all specified parameters. The LSXA4L-2C maintains RoHS compliance and operates within the same temperature range, ensuring regulatory and environmental consistency.

The primary distinction is product status: LSXA4L4-2C is obsolete while LSXA4L-2C is active. This status difference, combined with superior inventory availability (1094 units versus 913 units), establishes LSXA4L-2C as the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

No additional testing or verification is required for substitution, as all functional and mechanical parameters are identical. Direct pin-for-pin and form-factor compatibility is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LSXA4L-2C replace LSXA4L4-2C in existing applications?

A: Yes. All electrical specifications (10A AC at 120V, 800mA DC at 115V), mechanical configurations (DPDT, side rotary actuator, chassis mount, screw terminals), and operational characteristics (46gfm operating force, 15° pretravel, 7° differential travel, 60° overtravel) are identical. Direct substitution is applicable without circuit modification.
